Isthmus Crossing – Panama & Costa Rica

About this cruise

Block out 16 nights from April 16, 2026 and let this sailing from Fort Lauderdale do its thing. The route covers Oranjestad, Panama Canal and Panama City, with additional stops along the Caribbean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. You finish in Los Angeles. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. 5 countries (Aruba, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico and United States) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Puerto Vallarta alone is worth the trip, Cobblestone streets, Pacific sunsets. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Grand Princess. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Worth booking. That's the short version.
